Request: Ability to alter the height of text editing field in Properties Panel (Ae/Pr)

The text editing panel in the After Effects Properties Panel (when text has been set up as an essential property) is a fixed height of about 2.5 lines tall. Premiere's Properties panel shows three full lines. (This appears to be the visible amount of text regardless of display settings, though I won't pretend I did exhaustive research here.)

 

These work ok in many cases, but for templates where longer text will be the norm, it makes it fiddly and annoying for the end user to work with text in this small space, and means they generally can't see all of it at once without copy/pasting from another app. 


I'd love the ability to establish a specific height for the text editing area for the end user - perhaps a setting could be added in the existing Edit Properties pop-up? An editable height value / number of visible lines would allow for excellent customization, and could allow for a reduction in screen real estate for templates that would never use more than a single line! Failing that, an option between pre-established short / medium / tall would at least be an improvement.
